Capitão foi adotado ainda pequenino por Miguel Guzmám de Villa Carlos Pa em Cordoba,
na Argentina em 2005. Ele adotou o Pastor Alemão para o seu filho Damien, mas o cãozinho amava Miguel.
Então em março de 2006,Miguel morreu. O cachorro desapareceu por algum tempo, e a família pensou que ele tinha ido embora. Quando visitaram o túmulo de Miguel, lá
estava ele. O cão se recusa a deixar o cemitério, mesmo seis anos depois.
Uma bonita história que este cão nos ensina sobre manter a memória daqueles que nos são
caros.
Capitán was adopted as a puppy by Miguel Guzmán of Villa Carlos Paz Cordoba, Argentina, in 2005. He got the German Shepherd for his son Damien, but the puppy loved Miguel. Then in March of 2006, Miguel died. The dog disappeared for a while, and the family thought he'd gone to live with someone else. But when they visited Miguel Guzmán's grave, there was Capitán. The dog refuses to leave the cemetery, even six years later.
Hector Baccega, the administrator of the Villa Carlos Paz Cordoba cemetery, told the press that Capitán has won the affection and respect of all the cemetery caretakers, who always make sure he’s properly fed and up-to-date with his immunizations. At one point they even brought in a vet, after Capitán showed up with a broken leg. Baccega says Capitán walks with him through the cemetery every day, but as night approaches, he always returns to Miguel’s graveside and lays his head down next to the headstone. He feels this amazing dog is teaching humans a valuable lesson about cherishing the memory of their loved ones.
